Pyongyang, July 16 (KCNA) -- At the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum in the DPRK, there is a wax replica of an aggressor giving pleasure of victors to the visitors.

The aggressor standing in front of the graves of his soldiers with fear and disconsolate look is Commander of the First Division of the U.S. Marines Smith who left a bad name of grave general in the Korean war (June 1950-July 1953).

Smith was said to have rendered "distinguished military services" in succession in the world wars, but his figure of lonely standing in front of the graves, keeping company with the crow crying on the tree that was broken by bullets and shells, is jeered by the visitors.

The Smith's First Division of the U.S. Marines was a notorious killer unit boasting of the division's "tradition" of the "distinguished military services", setting a record high in the history of commendation in the U.S. imperialist aggression army.

Leading this "undefeated division", Smith arrived on the bank of Lake Jangjin in November 1950 to "successfully" carry out MacArthur's order of "General Christmas Offensive" and to demonstrate the unit's "honor" and his name to the world.

The enemies in full tide of passion even paved the runway to return to their hometowns by planes in the future, singing the triumphant war song before the beginning of the battle.

But they knew too little about their opponent.

The brave Korean People's Army staged bizarre assaults and ambush, dividing the enemy's group into several pieces and delivering wholesale death to them.

120 of 170 soldiers in the 2nd company of the fifth regiment of the division were killed on the bank of Lake Jangjin and enemies of the other companies, too, died in vain.

The "undefeated division" completely lost its combat capability by causing many corpses and the wounded in the battle on the bank of Lake Jangjin.

Even American journalists who came to the spot to report the results of the battle reported on the gruesome scene of the division, mockingly saying that it is the "retreat for the first time in the history of the Marines."

A journalist carried an article in a newspaper saying that their clothes were ragged, their faces were swollen with cold wind and drawn blood, and that there were some soldiers who walked with bare feet because their feet were swollen with frostbite.

The "honor" of the "undefeated division" which had styled itself "victor" wherever it set foot on as a shock brigade for aggression and plunder was crumbled in the Korean war.

This was just the disgrace of the United States. -0-
